Refusal Notice 10/01046/B
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Cornerstone Architects 79 Parliament Street Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 1AQ In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Mr Roy \& Mrs Susan Tilleard Proposal: Creation of a new vehicular access and driveway at: $\quad$ Lorne House Bridge Street Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1AZ which was considered on 2nd September 2010, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 14th September 2010 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Mrs C Dudley Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The creation of a vehicular access on to Bridge Road would have a detrimental impact on the character of the Conservation Area. The character of this part of the quayside is that of an uninterrupted solid wall, over which the tree canopy of Lorne House may be seen, an intrinsic part of the character of this part of the Conservation Area. This was certainly the character that Gordon Cullen recognised in 1971 and that was protected when the Conservation Area was designated in 1990. The evidence submitted in justification of the proposals is considered inconclusive as it proves nothing more than the existence of a pedestrian scaled footpath still in evidence today.
This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
